And the Winner Is…

August 15, 2008 · 10 comments


Well, I just couldn’t wait. I am beyond thrilled with the participation in my first Show & Tell. In fact, I would love to have future Show & Tells… ideas?

The last 2 times I went grocery shopping, I looked. And looked some more. But I did not. even. see. one. coupon binder. How very sad. Luckily, I can hop right on my very own blog and see that I am not alone!

There are other coupon crazy women out there, it is not just me! I really enjoyed going through each entry and discovering all the wonderful ways y’all organize your coupons. There were even some other videos!

Since there can only be one winner, I just want to highlight a few “honorable mentions”:

Some of you use boxes.

Michelle wins the prize for most sophisticated binder.

Jessica shows off her huge coupon binder AND her cereal stockpile in one post. Impressive!

Mary Ellen has the most creative method I have ever seen!

If there was a prize for cutest Southern drawl, Trina would win, hands down.

*******************************************

I used Random.org to select our big winner!

Number 3 is Ruthanne of Eclectic Whatnot. She is also a binder girl, like me, and has a great video for you to enjoy!

Congratulations, Ruthanne! The prize? Oh yes… I apologize for the long suspense.

An Ipod Shuffle! I truly hope you enjoy it, and I will be contacting you.

Thank you so much to everyone who participated. This Show & Tell helped others on their frugal journey, to be sure.

How inspiring this contest was!!! I have just decided to start couponing. AND am now hooked!!!

I really enjoyed the lady with the red binder from target, and the bag she had to go with it. I ended up getting one from walmart, and had a hard time finding the baseball card inserts, they were in the middle of the check out stands on a bottom shelf, just in case others are still looking. They only had one box and it was half empty…maybe others saw your contest and the others ideas?!?!?

anyway thanks for the inspiration and the great blog!!!!

Wow! What a GREAT prize! I thought it would be coupons but you outdid yourself on that one :) Congrats Ruthanne!

Thanks for the honorable mention. I was slightly horrified at how country I sounded on video. LOL Oh well :)

This was SO fun and I loved seeing everyone's entries. Let's do another Show & Tell, maybe stockpiles or something?
